On Thursday 14 December at 12.00 midday family, friends and former work colleagues, will gather with Fr Michael for the dedication of a memorial and prayers in memory of former student, Steven Whitehead, who passed to eternal life Saturday morning 19 November, 2016.

The red wood timber seat memorial, masterfully crafted by the artisan, Douglas Childs, is situated in front of the Moorak Homestead, and facing the Sugarloaf Mountain, acknowledges the life of Steven, taken tragically with three other young men and employees of Tabeel Trading, as the result of an accident in the early hours of the morning near Penola while they were travelling to work.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of Steven Whitehead, at this time. He is remembered fondly as a gentle, sincere and self-effacing person, and who thrived in the practical dimensions of life. We trust that this memorial assists the family in their healing journey of loss, offers opportunities for us share fond memories of his presence with us on this earthly life, and confidence that Steven has passed to eternal life, the corner stone of our faith commitment.    

Students, staff and parents of our community are welcome to join the family, friends and former colleagues for the dedication, and to share a light meal and chat after the ceremony at the Sugarloaf Café.
